Hey , Yes, if you're deemed an Australian resident for tax purposes then you do need to declare your spouse's taxable income. Taxable income is your total income minus any deductions for the financial year. It will be the taxable income that's determined by the IRS when your spouse lodges their tax return. Including your spouse's income helps us to determine whether your entitled to any specific offsets, rebates, or reductions. It also helps us to work out if you're liable for the Medicare Levy Surcharge.
